On the day, the "Barbie" team allocated time to take photos for the Korean fans who attended, and also extended warm greetings. In the face of a large number of fans, she said "Thank you" in Korean, and responded warmly to host Park Kyung-lim's questions about the movie.

However, after the "Barbie" team answered four questions about the movie, the Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation art troupe invited by the conference began to perform Korean dance. The dancers in Korean costumes, accompanied by traditional Korean instruments, demonstrated Korean dance.

Subsequently, the host, Park Kyung-lim, invited Hanbok craftsman Park Seo-nyeo to the stage as a "surprise guest". Park Seo-nyeo told the Barbie team, "I want to show you how beautiful our country's silk is," and expressed her regret by saying, "I actually wanted to dress you all up in Hanbok, but there wasn't enough time."

Next, Park Soo-ji presented the Bobby team with a Hanbok, traditional Korean attire, with hemp pattern as a gift. Then, Park Kyung-lin said: "Let's take a photo," and Park Soo-ji responded, "What remains is the photo," becoming the center of attention among the actors. Especially at this time, Park Soo-ji caught people's attention by placing her Hanbok shop's business card in the pocket of the Hanbok she gave to Marg Robbie.

On the other hand, the event that day lasted about 18 minutes. Typically, when Hollywood stars visit, activities are arranged according to the actor's itinerary, so they are very tightly packed. Out of the 18-minute event that day, a total of 10 minutes was spent on dance performances and on the Hanbok gift for Park Su-yeon. The time spent on photo sessions with the actors, a surprise birthday party for the star Margot Robbie, and promotion for the movie "Barbie" was only about 3 minutes. Therefore, after the event, the internet was filled with dissatisfaction with the event planning.

On the same day, in an online discussion forum, a netizen posted, "I watched the 'Barbie' event today and it reminded me of my experience ten years ago (I miss it a bit)." He said, "Exactly ten years ago in 2013, Amanda Seyfried visited. It was also Amanda's birthday on that day, and Park Soo-gyeong insisted that she wear a Korean dress. It reminded me of a day that I had long forgotten."

Regarding this, other netizens expressed, "I don't understand why the grandmother, who seemed to come out of nowhere, suddenly became the focus. I feel ashamed for her. It's getting to the point where it feels like national shame. If you look into it, such things are not only happening once or twice." / "In front of actors who came to Korea to promote their movies... what are they doing? They made the hanbok show into some kind of advertisement by beating drums and gongs? It's really embarrassing... Even China won't do this!" / "Looking at the video closely, they even forced Margot Robbie to wear a hanbok." / "What kind of dance is that, and what's with the hanbok? We want to see 'Barbie.'" / "What's this? Suddenly there's traditional music, and they're wearing hanbok. It's really embarrassing... It's a good thing Ryan Gosling didn't come. What movie are they introducing? Or is it a forced national film show? The planning of this event is simply incomprehensible." / "Who planned this? Not only is it terrible, it's disgusting. There are many beautiful styles of hanbok, why wear that one?" etc., were the comments.
